Greetings! Is there a way to get rid of that accursed 'Picking Manager' on the newest edition of Bobcad? It may have its uses but mostly I find it in the way. The box automatically opens and...

Can't say I have ever noticed this. Howsomever, you should not have to delete the old number. Touch off the tool on the OD of your work, press the X Diameter Measure key, and enter the diameter of...
SM:
Damn, I knew I forgot something...;)
I work predominately on late 19th century British sporting rifles. Back then the usual technique was to disassemble the scope, solder the tube into the...
JR:
Thank you for your help. Yes, the hoop is radiused and will have to be machined from each side.
I am using the stock wizard square block as the stock. Mayhaps if I used a solid machined to...
Gentlemen:
I am have been at this for a while but the wall is not getting any softer.
I am trying to machine the highlited areas in the attached image, but am unable to devise a boundary that...
Thank you. I will have a look at the post, but it doesn't take too much for me to be in over my head.
I did get it to play nice by disabling the "arc fit".
Best to all,
Glenn
Gentlemen:
Thank you for your help. It is much appreciated.
How does one attach a .bbcd file? The system rejected it as an invalid file.
I will try the arc fit thing first.
Much...
Gentlemen:
BC30 is producing code that my Haas TM1 objects to and I am unable to sort it out. The error is something like: "Error in J, K, I in G02 or G03". The fault comes up on line N12 of the...
Gentlemen:
I am suddenly having an odd problem with the project curve function. I have used it often in the past with no problems. Howsomever, today it has decided to project to its own...
Gentlemen:
I am working on a matting (engraving) pattern that needs to be projected onto an irregular surface, something I have done many times. However, this pattern includes some dots that I was...
All:
Thank you very much for your help. I did manage to pummel the beast into submission. As was suggested, the problem was somewhere in the geometry I was trying to revolve. I located the area...
Third-Gen:
Thanks, I will have a look around for such a utility. I don't recall seeing such a thing before, but that doesn't mean it is not there.
In the meantime, I tried to revolve the cavity...
Third-Gen:
It is possible that the solid is not a solid, as you suggest. Howsomever, I don't know how to find out. I tried to subtract another solid from part of it, but "Failed in Boolean...
Here is the image I am looking at before pushing the subtract button and the weirdness starts.
jrmach:
Thanks for the response. I have looked at it most carefully, and run all three of the Cleanup/Optimize tools on it for good measure. I have tried making solids of just parts of the shape...
Gentlemen:
I am having trouble getting a solid to subtract from another solid. It should leave a cavity, but when told to subtract either one or the other of the solids disappears, or sometimes...
Thank you, sir.

Gentlemen:
I am considering a new larger monitor for CAD, something in the 27" class, and see that curved monitors are all the rage. Has anyone had experience with a curved monitor for CAD? Are...
BurrMan:
Thank you very much for your help. It is greatly appreciated.

All:
I think I have done it. Thanks to Nick for putting me on the right track.
I took the green shell shown in the last post, rotated three more copies, and united them with the Boolean +. ...
Nick:
Thanks for your reply.
I tried removing the stock both inside and outside the blue solid, and again the result was a shell of the shape if I subtracted one of the blue solids, as shown...
Gentlemen:
Once again I seem to have painted myself into a corner.
I need to subtract the inner blue shape from the green in the attached picture. Said inner shape is of four segments and I am...
I've had trouble with the "tag" thing myself. The system seems to automatically populate the tag list with every word of my post and then reject the post for too many tags. Easy enough to delete all...
The 3-d Wire strategy worked. Strangely it did not seem to follow the path perfectly in Z, but it was good enough. I had to edit the path to put in a circular lead in and out, as the only option...
RAF:
Thanks very much for your help. I didn't know about the wire frame thing.
It took a bit of messing around, but I have the tool paths created with the 3-D wireframe. I will try the cut...
Gentlemen:
I am trying to program a tool path to follow the inside of the orange contour in the attached image. If it were flat it would be a simple inside profiling cut. In that it varies in Z...
Thank you jrmach! It worked a treat.

Gentlemen:
I do a good bit of geometric pattern engraving and spend way too much time at it. Attached is an example image.
I create the pattern oversize and then add the boundaries, Break Many,...
Gentlemen:
A good while back you all helped me with some tool path issues that were getting the better of me. Some one asked for pictures of the finished piece, and I am now able to supply some. ...
Gentlemen:
I have followed the instructions to modify the read only status of the Documents files. It was indeed restricted to Read Only, which I have changed. I will experiment later, but I dare...
